Looking again at the images:
In the "ice cream" example, the cones are taller than the others, but in the images you cut the tip to play.
In the "house" example, the labels are outside the cards, so it would be difficult to cut.
The "unicorn" example is perfect.
So my guess is that in the different examples you improved the prompt.

I really like that your examples have no numbers, so each family can use their preference. I imagine it would be very hard to convince my daughter that it's better to keep the "5-chocolate" and drop the "1-mint-with-chocolate-chips". (She would understand the problem and ragequit.)
